Hey Sazia,
Our lips required some extra care and attention in order to keep them hydrated and restore their natural softness and smoothness.
Mostly, I prefer in winters to apply a thick layer of herbal lip balm at bedtime to have amazing benefits.
Combination of honey and lemon juice have great benefits for your lips and it really makes your lips soft and pink.
Thanks for sharing these wonderful ideas with us.
With best wishes,
Amar Kumar
